Answer:

Cylinder.  The explanation is not very exact, more intuition and whatnot, so let me know if there was anything you did not understand.  

Step-by-step explanation:

This is assuming the rectangle has its sides parallel with the x and y axes.  

Let's try to eliminate them one by one.  A cone does not seem likely since it has slanted sides, and spinning the two straight sides will keep the sides straight.  This can be used for the pyramid as well.  Let me know if this doesn't make sense though.

Now for me I would imagine that rectangle being a sheet of paper, or metal.  if you set that sheet atop some dirt or something and then rotated it, what shape would be drawn into the material?  It would be a circle.  So we know the 3d shapewill have a base of a circle, which leaves us with a cylinder.  Again, let me know if this method did not make sense.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Semi perimeter:-

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail s=\dfrac{1.8+2.4+3}{2}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail s=\dfrac{7.2}{2}=3.6cm

Apply heron s formula

Area:-

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \sqrt{3.6(3.6-1.8)(3.6-3)(3.6-2.4)}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \sqrt{3.6(1.8)(0.6)(1.2)}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \sqrt{4.6656}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 2.16cm^2

X-1.6=2.4+0.8x solve for x. <br><br>What did I do wrong?
trapecia [35]

\bf x-1.6=2.4+0.8x\implies \stackrel{\textit{subtracting 2.4}}{x-4=0.8x}\implies \stackrel{\textit{subtracting x}}{-4=0.8x-x} \\\\\\ -4=-0.2x\implies \cfrac{-4}{-0.2}=x\implies 20=x

HELP MEE!!!|||||||||Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 6 inches and a height that is three times the radius. Use 3
natulia [17]

Answer: There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Let us write them down first.

Diameter of the cylinder = 6 inches

Then

Radius of the cylinder = 3 inches.

Height of the cylinder = 3 * radius

                                  = 3 * 3

                                  = 9 inches

Volume of the cylinder = (pi) * (Radius)^2 * Height

                                   = 3.14 * (3)^2 * 9

                                   = 3.14 * 9 * 9

                                   = 254.34 cubic inches
